You can paint it with fabric paint (from a craft store). Stenciling a design would be nice.
You can paint canvas fabric. A link attached to get you started.

Clean it well and use a fabric dye.
I think this is too much work, why not cover it in fabric with pins or safety pins. Find some nylon fabric that will hold up to the weather. Start at one rib at a time, this seems easier, that's what I did, because my umbrella wàs faded also.
To dye it so that the dye penetrates and circulates through the fabric evenly, you are going to need a very large container to first mix the dye with water. Then when you go to remove the wet fabric, it will be very heavy and cumbersome. You will need to squeeze out the excess water first, then hang it where it can dry without staining other surfaces with the dripping dyed water.
White umbrellas can be very glare-y when you sit under them, try some darker fabric for your re-cover, maybe even some of the sun-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella, won't fade or develop sun rot. I just did a quick search for replacement offset patio umbrellas covers and found them for about $100-125 at various sources. Here's just one example (for just the fabric), they have square and round, all sizes. You could easily spend that much just for the uncut fabric..
